Moments after Utah Valley State upended New Mexico State in a Western Athletic Conference men's basketball contest Thursday, things turned ugly as court-rushing students and players from both teams were tangled up in a skirmish. It has led to the suspension of at least one player, and perhaps more.

New Mexico State's K.C. Ross-Miller hurled the ball at Utah Valley State's Holton Hunsaker seconds after the Wolverines' 66-61 overtime victory triggering the brawl that involved fans who came on the court.

Ross-Miller picked up the ball at midcourt and fired it at Hunsaker — the son of Utah Valley coach Dick Hunsaker — from close range, hitting him in the leg.

New Mexico State's D.K. Eldridge was in the middle of the scrum before he was dragged away by Aggies coaches as order was restored.

Ross-Miller has been suspended by NMSU, with coach Marvin Menzies saying in a statement: "After reviewing the tape of the game and the events that immediately followed, a decision has been made to immediately suspend KC Ross-Miller. No matter what provoked KC what he did was inexcusable and hence the suspension. It is an honor and a privilege to wear an Aggie uniform and a responsibility comes with that privilege. I will wait until I've had a chance to talk with our conference officials and university administration before any other disciplinary actions may or may not be taken. My initial assessment is that we're looking at two separate components, one being KC throwing the ball at Hunsaker and the other being the altercation between the players and the fans who rushed the floor. I would like to commend my staff for their immediate reaction to engage our players and remove them from the floor. We are currently reviewing several sources of video to accurately assess the situation. Obviously this was a very unfortunate incident and I'm hopeful that we can learn from it moving forward."
